Optikia_heli_tl.paa? Looked everywhere but cant find its path?

[konyo 14]

ArmA 2 is flagging up an error with my latest model saying 'optikia_heli_tl.paa'?

Cannot Load Texture ca\air\data\optikia_heli_tl.paa.

Ive searched forum & google and cant find an answer to it, just threads saying the error has been spotted etc.

Ive looked in my models rvmats for its path & looked though the whole model for its texture, but couldnt find it atall?

Please help me :)

Regards,

konyo

That's ArmA stuff mate... not ArmA2/OA.... 'ca\air\data\optika_heli_tl.paa' is from air.pbo for A1. Somewhere in your A2 stuff your pointing back at one of the optika_<blah>.p3d's from A1's air.pbo which in turn is pointing at this .paa.

Then when you're in-game in A2/OA it doesn't have access to the old A1 air.pbo so can't find this .paa.

AFAIK this happens if your chopper/plane inherits directly from air and doesnt define an optics texture (like = ""):

class CfgVehicles
{
class Air;
class Helicopter: Air
{
	class Turrets
	{
		class MainTurret: NewTurret
		{
//				gunnerOpticsModel = "\ca\air\optika_heli_gunner";//if this is used, you see the error
		};
	};
};

Ok thanks, I'm a tad confused. So if I write that into my config it will stop the error? Or something else? Because in that coding it says gunner optics? I'm not using a gunner in my model?

post your config here

Add inside your chopper class:

class Turrets {};

[konyo 14]

Add inside your chopper class:

Comes up with the following now :

'No Entry /bin\config.bin/Turrets.scope?'

EDIT: Solved that above i put in wrong text form before, thanks for the help for that, much appreciated! :)

Also why do some textures disappear when looking through glass? For example in Oxygen2 i can look at the glass from the outside and the pedals in the cockpit are white, zoom in through the glass into the cockpit and the textures are visable?

Solved problem, thanks PvPscene!

[PuFu 4600]

check if the textures are there for all your LODs....

Yeah checked that they were all there, decided to do a search on google with loads of different key words, did eventually find one after about half hour with my answer. I had to select the glass faces and go to Faces > Move to Top & it worked :D

Sorry for double post, but ive just realised adding 'class Turrets {};' into the config makes me loose my co-pilot?

Isn't the following the BIS prescribed method of sub-class inheritance?

class CfgVehicles {
 class Helicopter {
   class Turrets {
     class MainTurret;
   };
 };
 class kyo_Bravo_November : Helicopter {
   ...
   ...
   ...
   class Turrets : Turrets {
     class MainTurret : MainTurret {
       gunnerOpticsModel = "\ca\weapons\optika_empty";
     };
   }; 
   ...
   ...
   ...
 };
};

BI way is not necessary - its actually only get past an obsolete compiler check Sy. The definition has no effect anyway.

a) Either the structure is already present and you only duplicate it

b) You define a different one that causes a warning and has no effect

c) The structure is not present - either your config is wrong or faulty loading order (requiredAddons)

Also this is wrong:

class Helicopter {

It would had to be

class Air;

class Helicopter: Air {

Yeah, true my bad... with just the 'class Helicopter {' I'd end up updating the base class in my post wouldn't I... think I'll have to start sending my .cpp's to Germany for a bit of 'slap & tickle'.
